Josh Radnor and Malin Akerman Video Interview HAPPYTHANKYOUMOREPLEASE.jpg

One of the many films that premiered at this year's Sundance Film festival was writer/director Josh Radnor's happythankyoumoreplease.  While many might have thought Radnor only got into Sundance due to his CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother, his film won the Dramatic Audience Award at Sundance, proving he belonged in the Festival.

Starring Malin Akerman (Watchmen), Kate Mara (Shooter), Tony Hale (Arrested Development , Chuck) and Josh Radnor, happythankyoumoreplease is about six New Yorkers juggling love, and friendship.  Even though the story is nothing new in the world of movies, I really enjoyed his debut film.  Also, while many Sundance movies were tough to watch, happythankyoumoreplease is a really sweet romcom that's sure to please audiences looking for an uplifting movie about love.  While the movie doesn't yet have distribution , I'm sure someone will purchase the film soon.

To help promote the film, I got to talk with Malin Akerman and Josh Radnor.  You can watch the interview after the jump:

As usual, I've listed what we talked about above the interview.  And if you'd like to see some movie clips from happythankyoumoreplease, click here.
